Remove NMP! Information materials on water-based polyimide varnish are now available.

Completely NMP-free! A water-based polyimide varnish with excellent handling properties, high heat resistance, and chemical resistance, featuring low viscosity. Documentation is available, and free samples are being provided!

Polyimide varnish has characteristics of high heat resistance and chemical resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of fields and applications, including high-temperature sliding parts and related components for automobiles and aircraft, heat-resistant coatings, special adhesives, and wire insulation. It is a resin that will continue to be used by leveraging these features in the future. However, the current mainstream products are "NMP solution" or "a mixed solution of NMP and water." *NMP = N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone In recent years, "NMP" has raised concerns about its "toxicity," and it has been listed as a restricted substance under the "REACH regulations" in Europe, and it is expected to have an impact in Japan as well. NMP-free water-based polyimide varnish can contribute to "avoiding the use restrictions of NMP" and "reducing VOCs for environmental improvement." This product is expected to further enhance performance and reduce environmental impact in fields requiring high heat resistance and chemical resistance. It has excellent handling properties due to its stability at room temperature and low viscosity, comparable to general functional coatings. It is also believed to enable applications in processing methods that traditional polyimide varnishes could not be applied to. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material with heat. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized.

Japan is among the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of significant earthquakes occurring. For the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake measures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding methods for repairs can cause changes in the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
